Bayelsa State Governor, Hon. Henry Seriake Dickson, wish to commend the five (5) Justices of the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt for their unanimous judgment striking out the petition brought before it by Change Advocacy Party (CAP) on grounds that it lacked merit.
 
The ruling of the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt today, which upheld the February 14 electoral victory of Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson as the duly elected Governor of Bayelsa State, represents a clear victory for democracy and triumph of the rule of law.
 
Governor Dickson wishes to seize this opportunity to call on all candidates of the various political parties who contested the election with him to join hands with his government to bring restoration to our dear state. There is so much at stake, our state is far behind in the developmental index and we cannot afford to continue to play politics with our development.
 
The restoration train is well on track and there is enough room to accommodate anyone who is desirous in joining our administration in our urgent quest to rapidly bring development to our dear state. This administration is working very hard to develop and improve on all major infrastructures in the state in line with our restoration agenda.
 
We urge all political parties and call on all Bayelsans to join the restoration train of our government as we embark on a steady march to restore the lost glory of our dear state.
 
 
 
Daniel Iworiso-Markson
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Bayelsa State.
